Chapter 444: Semifinals! Battle for the silver medal!

Latest website: The Chinese team was finally able to beat the Lithuanian team with a hearty victory. The whole East was boiling, pushing the expectations of this year's Olympics to a new high.
First it was 4 wins and 1 loss in the group stage to advance to the quarter-finals, and then beat Lithuania to advance to the quarter-finals. So does this mean that the Chinese team has the hope of winning a medal in the men's basketball event for the first time? Even if it is just a thought and hope, it is enough to make the fans in the East surging. Almost all the fans are cheering and celebrating the party. It seems that the atmosphere of the New Year can be felt early-and at this time there is still a few years away from the New Year. Months.
The fact that the men's basketball team attracts much attention every year affects the hearts of too many people.
But every time the results are not good. I look forward to year after year. Even if I lose again this year, I will go away and say I will never watch it again. But once the men’s basketball team has a game, it is still like a monkey. I couldn't help but rushed over.
I still think that they can win and fight for the tone.
...
"The game is over! Let me congratulate the Chinese team for advancing to the semi-finals! There is no doubt! The Chinese men's basketball team has now reached the top of the world!"
As soon as Yu Jia's voice fell, huge cheers erupted from the entire scene.
This cheers came over the sky, almost overturning the entire scene, and the ground was shaking.
A close-up of Xu Xuan appeared on the big screen.
A red national team jersey with a golden jersey back number.
Xu Xuan! ! ! ! ! !
Xu Xuan! ! ! ! ! !
Xu Xuan! ! ! ! ! !
Xu Xuan! ! ! ! ! !
The neat shouts at the scene were deafening.
Countless Chinese fans on the scene shouted vigorously.
They longed for this day for too long, and the expectations squeezed in their hearts were fulfilled, and they vented out of their brains, and this cheer swept the entire stadium like a storm.
Xu Xuan heard the shuddering cheers before leaving the court.
He can feel the expectations of the fans.
At this moment, he became the only protagonist on the court.
In the face of the crazy fans, Xu Xuan bowed to the four stands and thanked him, and received crazy applause from the fans.
"Tsk...this popularity!" Zhang Yangyi said with a grin on the commentary stage.
There was a sour tone in his tone, but a happy smile appeared on his face.
Yu Jia also looked forward to it, turning around and asking: "Director Zhang, what do you think is the importance of Xu Xuan for a team?"
Zhang Yangliang glanced at Yu Jia and knew what the other party meant, then... chant.
"There is no substitute!" Zhang Liliang said solemnly: "A player like Xu Xuan is not a pure three-pointer like Curry. He is the core. We must understand the importance of a core player. This kind of player can fill the team's Shortcomings can also raise the team's ceiling. Just like this summer, the Hornets, Mavericks, Nets, Heat and Pistons spared no effort to find Xu Xuan. There is a reason."
"A player like Xu Xuan is the key for ordinary teams to hit the giants, and at the same time the key to the achievements of the giants. And he is only 21 years old. Do you know what this means? This means that he has a ten-year history. Professional lifespan, and when it reaches its peak at around 26, with his current performance, how terrifying will he become?"
"So, when Xu Xuan came to the national team, it is more important than any other position to reinforce, because he is the core, he can fill the shortcomings and increase the upper limit!"
Zhang Fangyi's voice was broadcast to all parts of the country via live broadcast.
The fans who are following this game are also relieved.
"Director Zhang's comment, comfortable!"
"This is the truth!"
"It's over!"
"Blowing Xu Xuan is politically correct!"
"It's too much, but...I like it!"
"Don't always face the commentary, I want to see Xu Xuan, and I want to see the autograph."
"Yes! If you don't transfer again, the broadcaster will deduct salary!!"
"The broadcaster's brother is one centimeter shorter!!"
Perhaps feeling the strong resentment of the fans, the camera shifts to Xu Xuan, who is signing autographs to the fans.
Although I brought a lot of signed sneakers and signed jerseys this time, it is obviously impossible to satisfy all the fans, so the scene is very important.
The signature lasted for almost half an hour, and then stopped reluctantly when the staff stopped.
Xu Xuan's hands are sour.
The main point of signing is not limited to what jerseys and shoes, there are all kinds of mess.
Signing for half an hour made Xu Xuan exhausted, and he could keep up with half of the game.
At night, when they returned to their place of residence, the other men in the men's basketball team looked at Xu Xuan with envy.
In addition to those big stars, who else can be surrounded and signed for half an hour?
envy, jealousy, hate.
But they were envious, and they knew in their hearts that there was a big gap between themselves and Xu Xuan...the kind that could hardly make up for.
They also want to go to the NBA, but they also want to shine, but they don't have that ability.
Hey, he is in the same generation as Xu Xuan, so lucky and sad.
With luck, they lie down and scored into the final four of the Olympic Games. This glorious resume will undoubtedly make their entire career wonderful.
But sadly, they lay in... just after doing a few rounds and going back and forth, they entered the semifinals...
My mind is complicated.
When this group of national players had lemons in their hearts, Xu Xuan had already gone out for dinner with Ah Lian.
For some things, Xu Xuan must ask Ah Lian what his opinion is.
This time is approaching September, and the decision has to be decided.
"Brother Lian, when you come to the Lakers, I will talk to them. You don't have to worry about the contract. And I absolutely believe that you have this strength. Just come and help me. If you are unfamiliar in life, I have to bring someone familiar. Isn't that person?"
Xu Xuan said it in a mocking tone, and Ah Lian nodded, but did not agree immediately.
He was a little moved, but his past NBA journey made him unable to make up his mind.
He wanted to go, but he was afraid that after he went, he would come back with a dismay.
That is not necessary.
He is no longer the young man he used to be, and he has to consider every step he takes.
Moreover, he was afraid of losing Xu Xuan's face...
Xu Xuan waved his hand and chuckled: "Brother Lian, what you said feels like I am helping you, but it is not at all. I am inviting you to come to the Lakers to help me. In this, the first thing I value is you. The strength of yours, followed by other things. I invited you because of your strength. You know what I mean."
Xu Xuan smiled and said: "If you don't have the strength, and don't say anything that doesn't look at your affections, I will never invite you."
Ah Lian nodded silently, without speaking.
He also understands.
He also wants to go.
But I am afraid...too many concerns.
Xu Xuan patted Uzbek on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "You go, I can't guarantee anything else, but the number of starts will not be less. You and Randle will be the main starters in this position."
Ah Lian was shocked. Seeking Books in Chinese
It's actually a starter or not a rotation!
Xu Xuan, this is...
"Trust me, Brother Lian, you can definitely play in the NBA, as long as you develop three-pointers, not to say that it is too good, you can have the level of Green, and you will be a little bit defensive. I believe you will never be worse than him.
Green... Alian thought about it in his mind.
In fact, he is also good at three-pointers, even higher than Green. In the 08-09 season, he averaged 2.3 three-pointers per game, and could hit 0.8 times with a 34.3% shooting rate.
He had this foundation, but it was wasted later. Everyone was asking him to go to the basket, fight, grab, dunk, go low, go mid-range, and the three-pointer was slowly forgotten.
But how can I think that the wind direction has become so fast, now the league is already a three-point world.
Maybe, now I really have a chance for the NBA?
A Lian was thinking, Xu Xuan did not bother either.
This is a big deal and must be thought through.
After a while, the United Arab Emirates slowly raised his head and said firmly and slowly: "Xuanzi, I can go to the NBA with you, but, apart from this, you don't interfere with anything else, let me go by myself. Talking to the Lakers, it’s all my business to talk too much, and talk less, is this okay?"
"This..." Xu Xuan hesitated, he just wanted to talk about the contract.
Unexpectedly, the UAE mentioned it first.
Yi Jian waved his hand and looked into Xu Xuan's eyes. Chen Ken said, "Xuanzi, don't say too much. If everything depends on you, what is the point of me going?"
"Or you just don't believe in my strength and don't think the Lakers can sign me and give me a contract?"
Xu Xuan was startled and waved his hand quickly.
He didn't mean that.
"Then let me do it myself! I also believe that I can play in the NBA, and I am willing to work hard for it, would you believe me?"
"Of course I believe!"
Again, Yi Jianlian definitely has the strength to play in the NBA, except for his personality.
"Well, that's enough! When the Olympics are over, I will start training and ask my agent to contact the Lakers. Leave everything else alone. Even if I don’t sign in the end, don’t have any emotions. That can only mean that I am not strong enough."
Xu Xuan hesitated, but nodded.
Yi Jian even explained everything clearly.
Xu Xuan was not easy to refute, so he could only agree.
However, even though he was uncertain, Xu Xuan was still extremely excited.
In the previous life, Yi Jian could return to the NBA without Xu Xuan's mention, not to mention that Xu Xuan was here this season.
Three points, three points are very important.
This is the core of his tactics for next season.
If the U.S. can really make a three-pointer, the Lakers will definitely increase the threat next season at the position of power forward!
...
In the knockout, the Chinese men's basketball team and Lithuania were the first.
There will be another game after Spain is playing Australia.
All messed up, all messed up.
In the previous life, Spain fought France, and Australia fought Lithuania.
As a result, the two top four teams have met together.
The game was very intense. It can be said that this game was the most intense game played in this men's basketball game.
Australia is still playing their "traditional arts", and when they can't beat them, they often pick their noses and eyes.
Can't beat it?
Forcibly hit!
Spain is gentle, but they are really strong, so many big-name players, and a real pillar like this.
The two teams played from the first quarter to the second and third quarters until the last minute of the fourth quarter, and they were still tied.
Subsequently, Rubio failed to make a three-pointer from the outside, but unfortunately the Australian team did not seize the opportunity, counterattacked a mistake, and after being intercepted, it made a big shot.
Spain leads.
A batch of stabilization.
Although in the NBA, Duncan was suppressed by the old driver, but on this international stage, the position of the power forward, no one is afraid!
Of course, Spain's overallity should also be better. They started with two defeats and looked thrilling, but now it has turned into a good thing.
Spain finally defeated Australia by 2 points and successfully advanced to the semi-finals.
Australia is not floating anymore, everyone is ashamed.
He said he would win the championship, he said he was the best in the twelve teams, he said he mocked Xu Xuan after winning the championship... Now there is nothing left.
The quarterfinals were eliminated.
In this regard, the Australian fans are also silent.
To be honest, they didn't expect that the Olympics journey ended so quickly that the top eight would be gone.
Margot, sad!
"If it hadn't been for the game that we lost to the Chinese team, we wouldn't have played Spain. We would have played Lithuania, but now we have become Spain..."
"Uncomfortable, losing to the Chinese team is really unbearable."
"A group of FWs, if they say they lose, they lose. I even bought a ticket to support them at a loss. Swim back, backstroke, breaststroke, freestyle, whatever they want..."
Xu Xuan turned the news in his hand, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Too much, too much to swim back, so far, you have to give a lifebuoy or something, right?
Don't be too much...
On the second day, in two knockout games, the United States undoubtedly defeated Argentina to advance to the semi-finals.
Croatia also defeated France to advance to the semi-finals.
France is really a bit weak.
No one can beat it.
But they are free and easy. Parker, the old French sports car, told Xu Xuan that ~EbookFREE.me~ will be waiting for the semi-finals to watch their game.
The men's basketball game is temporarily over, and the women's basketball game is over.
In the end, the Chinese women's basketball team failed to create a miracle. It was already an accident to reach the quarter-finals. It was too difficult to think further, and finally ended up in the quarter-finals.
But even so, Dayao was satisfied, and his gaze towards Xu Xuan was full of gratitude and gratitude.
If it weren't for Xu Xuan, let alone a quarter-final and a quarter-finals now, it is estimated that both sides will have to be out of the group stage.
Now this result is very good.
The fans of the Chinese team are also very happy. The men's and women's basketball teams are in the quarter-finals and the quarter-finals. This is not to say that compared with other countries, in Asia, it is definitely the leader.
The knockout round is over and the semi-finals are now, and the winner will enter the finals to compete for the gold medal.
In this game, the Chinese team's opponent is Croatia, and Spain's opponent is the United States.
